You've never seen a Chicken Coop like this before! Watch me build it!
What happens here
After realizing a shortage of lumber, the creator drives a tractor equipped with a grapple attachment into a wooded area of the farm. Several fallen pine logs are picked up from the ground and transported to a Wood-Mizer LT40 sawmill setup in a nearby field. The logs are then carefully loaded onto the sawmill and cut into fresh 2x4s and 3/4-inch siding planks, replenishing the material supply for the coop's construction.
Goal: Produce necessary lumber from raw logs
